How to add a shortcut to home screen of iphone 5s

I would like to add a shortcut to my home screen. Specifically, I would like a shortcut to my voicemail and a shortcut to call my guy.

You can't add a shortcut to a function within an app (voicemail is part of the Phone app). There are 3rd party apps that can call specific phone numbers, however. Search the app store. You can also add shortcuts to web pages.
Have you added the numbers you call frequently to the Favorites page in the phone app? With that you can call a number with 3 taps (Phone, Favorites, Name). And voicemail is only 2 taps (Phone, Voicemail).

  • Can no longer add bookmarks to my home screen

    I can no longer add bookmarks to my home screen.  As before, I get the choice of "Add to Bookmarks" and "Add to Home Screen", and after chosing "Add to Home Screen", I am asked to save the name as before, but the bookmark is not saved (or at least I can't find any trace of it amongst my home screen bookmarks, even after scrolling up, down and to the right).
    As I already have quite a few (but not excessive) bookmarks, most in folders, I tried deleting some and then trying to add a bookmark, but without success.  Restarting doesn't help.  Problem was there before the latest software update, but was not fixed by update.
    Anyone have an idea how to fix this? 

    Hi Carolyn
    I have just spent 3 hours reading and looking for an answer and came across your article here in respect of a similar situation I have with bluetortilla.
    I recently dropped my macbook and had to have a new diskdrive replaced. I am a total novice in IT and had a long time in resetting and reconfiguring all my information and migrating my back up from my time machine.
    However, since then I have been having alot of issues with Safari which I have never had in the 3 years I have been using Mac.
    My problems currently are as follows, after each time I quit safari and when I close the mac and rebooting it.
    1.    All my history is not there when I re-open Safari. Only the history from when I last migrate the data from my time machine is there. However, after following the your instructions to bluetortilla, the old history is now deleted and the history of today remains.
    2.    Everytime I add a new bookmark and save a webpage into this bookmark, it disappears every time I quit and reopen Safari.
    3.    Similarly, even when I save a new webpage into an existing bookmark, this particular webpage disappears when I quit and reopen Safari.
    4.     I also deleted some of the default webpage in bookmark bars, but again these reappears when I quit and reopen Safari.
    All-in-all, everytime I delete or add into my bookmarks during a session on Safari, seems to disappear the next time I quit and reopen Safari. Previously all my histroy disappear but it seems ok now after following your instructions here.
    Would appreciate your advise and help here. It has been frustrating that I have not been able to save any webpages into my bookmarks or create any new bookmarks without it all disappearing the next time I open Safari.

    Ah, it looks like I should have read your title more carefully. Are the  files on the PCs that you want to share with your iMac in a shared folder?
    If not, follow the steps on this page to set up shares from Windows 7.
    If that is already set up, connect to the share from the iMac using this article.

  • How to Add Push Button On Selection Screen

    Hi Experts,
    How to add Push button on Selection Screen.
    Points will b rewarded for useful help.
    Bohra.

    Hi,
    To create a pushbutton on the selection screen, you use:
    SELECTION SCREEN PUSHBUTTON [/]<pos(len)> <push>
    USER-COMMAND <ucom> [MODIF ID <key>].
    The [/]<pos(len)> parameters and the MODIF IF addition have the same function as for the formatting options for underlines and comments.
    <push> determines the pushbutton text. For <push>, you can specify a text symbol or a field name with a maximum length of eight characters. This character field must not be declared with the DATA statement, but is generated automatically with length <len>. The field must be filled before the selection screen is called.
    For <ucom>, you must specify a code of up to four characters. When the user clicks the pushbutton on the selection screen, <ucom> is entered in the UCOMM of the SSCRFIELDS interface work area. You must use the TABLES statement to declare the SSCRFIELDS structure. The contents of the SSCRFIELDS-UCOMM field can be processed during the AT SELECTION-SCREENevent.
    Ex.
    REPORT DEMO.
    TABLES SSCRFIELDS.
    DATA FLAG.
    SELECTION-SCREEN:
    BEGIN OF SCREEN 500 AS WINDOW TITLE TIT,
    BEGIN OF LINE,
    PUSHBUTTON 2(10) BUT1 USER-COMMAND CLI1,
    PUSHBUTTON 12(10) TEXT-020 USER-COMMAND CLI2,
    END OF LINE,
    BEGIN OF LINE,
    PUSHBUTTON 2(10) BUT3 USER-COMMAND CLI3,
    PUSHBUTTON 12(10) TEXT-040 USER-COMMAND CLI4,
    END OF LINE,
    END OF SCREEN 500.
    AT SELECTION-SCREEN.
    CASE SSCRFIELDS.
    WHEN 'CLI1'.
    FLAG = '1'.
    WHEN 'CLI2'.
    FLAG = '2'.
    WHEN 'CLI3'.
    FLAG = '3'.
    WHEN 'CLI4'.
    FLAG = '4'.
    ENDCASE.
    START-OF-SELECTION.
    TIT = 'Four Buttons'.
    BUT1 = 'Button 1'.
    BUT3 = 'Button 3'.
    CALL SELECTION-SCREEN 500 STARTING AT 10 10.
    CASE FLAG.
    WHEN '1'.
    WRITE / 'Button 1 was clicked'.
    WHEN '2'.
    WRITE / 'Button 2 was clicked'.
    WHEN '3'.
    WRITE / 'Button 3 was clicked'.
    WHEN '4'.
    WRITE / 'Button 4 was clicked'.
    WHEN OTHERS.
    WRITE / 'No Button was clicked'.
    ENDCASE.
    This example defines four pushbuttons on a selection screen that is displayed as a
    dialog box. The selection screen is defined in a statement chain for keyword
    SELECTION-SCREEN.
    If the text symbols TEXT-020 and TEXT-040 are defined as 'Button 2' and 'Button 4',
    the four pushbuttons appear as follows on the selection screen displayed as a dialog box.

    How to remove items from iPad home screen?

    Press and hold any of the apps and after a couple of seconds or so they should start to shake. Then press the 'x' in the left corner to delete the ones that you don't want, and when you've finished deleting press the home button so as to stop the shaking. If you don't get the 'x' on any of the apps that you've downloaded (you can't delete built-in apps) then check that Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps isn't set 'off'

    how can i get to the home screen without activating it on a plan

    Unless it is a 3rd party cord, there is no cord that just goes from the phone to the wall. However, you will need a cord that connects to the computer and the phone. The device is in recovery mode and you will need to restore it. See this support document for the instructions. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • E72 Application shortcuts and home screen applicat...

    Hey guys,
    I`ve got a weird issue on my E72.
    Whichever theme I use,the application shortcuts and home screen shortcuts(wifi search,calendar,chatsetup...etc) are keep highlighted
    on homescreen.
    I installed ovi store update and polar lotus screensaver from ovi store yesterday.
    Since then my theme has changed and the two type of the shortcuts on my homescreen
    remain highlighted,whatever I do with them.
    I uninstalled the polar lotus scrsv.
    I tried all of my themes and default ones,but same everywhere.
    I use a black and blue(neon) blue theme.
    It used to look like full black screen and blue icons,the name of the apps,and shortcuts also written by blue.
    Now the apps shortcuts on the top and also the home screen apps are highlighted with light brown.
    I guess the polar lotus scrsv has left some files or configurations after itself,and keeps effecting
    the display or themes.
    I tried to uninstall and install again all of the themes,but still no luck.
    Has anyone experienced something like this before?
    Any idea to get back the normal lookout of the themes wtihout highlighting anything(unless the theme contains highlighting functions)?
    Thank you

    Could you guys try this blue and black theme by Mr Jorik, to check you also got light brown highlighted app.shortcuts on homescreen,or yours full black screen nothing highlighted?!
    I can give download link for the theme.
    Please someone help ....

  • N8 Problem: Cannot add shortcuts to home screen

    Hi, has anyone experienced this problem before? When I try adding any shortcut to the home screen, it shows a "running circle" icon on the home screen. Looks like it's loading, but it's just like that forever. This happens to all available shortcuts and most of the widgets except for Clocks and Map Apps.
    My phone is updated to the latest Belle.
    Thanks for your inputs.

    It is the next screen   Pick the command, click OK.  It then throws up a box telling you to press the key combination.  It will show as you push meta, shift and control modifiers.  When you hit a character that generates a keystroke, it saves it, along with the modifiers.
